There are three key ingredients the Vegas Golden Knights will need to win in Game 3.

Hockey is back after a short pause to stand in solitary with the rest of the sporting world in the fight against social injustice, and it is a big night for the Vegas Golden Knights.

They head into Game 3 against the Vancouver Canucks with the series tied at 1-1 after the Canucks knocked off a 5-2 win in Game 2.

This contest should have been played on Thursday but the extra rest should have done both teams the world of good.

However, as a result of the rescheduling, the Golden Knights will now play a back-to-back this weekend with Game 4 on Sunday.

Therefore, Vegas must decide how they will navigate their two-headed goalie monster over these two games.

Also, while they dominated Game 1 the Golden Knights saw how dangerous the Canucks can be in Game 2.

Vancouver is loaded with young talent and a boatload of skill and speed, and the likes of Quinn Hughes, Bo Horvat and Elias Pettersson are legitimate game-changers.

So Game 3 is set up nicely and it is a huge one for both teams with the opportunity there to really seize control of this series this weekend.

It all starts tonight and we put together the Three Keys the Golden Knights will need in order to beat the Vancouver Canucks, win Game 3 and go 2-1 up in the series…
